The strategy of the German colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel (later Generalmajor) Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, was to divert forces from the Western Front to Africa. His strategy achieved only mixed results after 1916, when he was driven out of German East Africa and Allied forces became composed almost entirely of South African, Indian, and other colonial troops. Black South African troops were not considered for European service as a matter of policy while all Indian units had been withdrawn from the Western Front by the end of 1915; the campaign in Africa consumed considerable amounts of money and war material that could have gone to other fronts. The Germans fought for the whole of World War I, receiving word of the armistice on 14 November 1918 at 7:30a.m. Both sides waited for confirmation and the Germans formally surrendered on 25 November. German East Africa became two League of Nations Class B Mandates, Tanganyika Territory of the United Kingdom and Ruanda-Urundi of Belgium, while the Kionga Triangle became a mandate of Portugal.

Background

Africa and De viris illustribus were partially inspired by Petrarch's visit to Rome in 1337. According to Bergin and Wilson (p. ix). It seems very likely that the inspirational vision of the Eternal City must have been the immediate spur to the design of the Africa and probably De viris illustribus as well. After returning from his grand tour, the first sections of Africa were written in the valley of Vaucluse. Petrarch recalls

The fact that he abandoned it early on is not entirely correct since it was far along when he received two invitations (from Rome and from Paris) in September 1340 each asking him to accept the crown as poet laureate. A preliminary form of the poem was completed in time for the laurel coronation April 8, 1341 (Easter Sunday).

Africa (Perpetuum Jazzile album)

Africa is 2009 Perpetuum Jazzile album. By large most successful song from the album is a capella version of Toto's "Africa", the performance video of which has received more than 15 million YouTube views since its publishing in May 2009 until September 2013.

References

Africa (film)

Africa is a 1930 Walter Lantz cartoon short featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Plot

Oswald was riding through the Egyptian desert on his camel. The camel, though looking real on the exterior, is actually mechanical because of the two ball-shaped pistons inside which Oswald manipulates with his feet like bike pedals. One day, a lion was running toward them. To defend himself, Oswald brought out a rifle but it malfunctioned. As a final resort, Oswald fired the ball pistons from the camel like a cannon and aimed into the lion's mouth. Terrified by its lumpy back, the lion runs away in panic.

Nearby where he is, Oswald saw an oasis and a palace. Upon seeing the apes dance and play instruments, the curious rabbit decides to join the fun. As he entered the palace, Oswald was greeted by the queen. The queen asked him who he is, and Oswald introduced himself in a song as well as giving advice for a possibly better lifestyle. Pleased by his visit, the queen asked Oswald if he would like to be her king. Oswald was at first uncertain, knowing he never met a queen, but immediately accepted. It turns out momentarily that the queen still has a king who shows up then throws Oswald out of the palace and into a pond full of crocodiles. Luckily, Oswald escapes unscathed and runs off into the desert.

Cultural

East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. The practice of praying towards the East is older than Christianity, but has been adopted by this religion as the Orient was thought of as containing mankind's original home. Hence, most Christian churches are oriented towards the east.

Kenya @50: Asian African Heritage - The Railway Builders

As Kenya marks 50 years since unshackling itself from colonialism, it is perhaps time to look back at the history of some of Kenya's landmarks to better understand the contribution made by Kenyans of different races in shaping the country's future. For just two sterling pounds a month, an equivalent of 24,000 Kenya shillings at current exchange rates, and using nothing other than their bare hands and feet, indian labourers dared the man-eating lions of Tsavo to build the rail track from Mombasa to Kampala. Their sacrifices in the construction of the line nicknamed the "lunatic express" helped lay the foundation to a modern Kenya and book a special place for the Indian community in Kenya.

According to a Lodging Econometrics report, construction pipelines for Middle East and Africa continue to grow resulting in 875 projects, and 216,045 rooms combined.

Opportunities abound in East Africa's cement, concrete and construction industries! East Africa has in recent years seen exceptional growth in the construction sector, particularly around the development of new houses, multistory buildings, roads and bridges. This trend has contributed to a surging demand for building materials in particular cement and concrete. In parts of the region cement capacity, cannot keep up with the demand whilst in other parts there is an over-supply. Whilst the under-supply may provide opportunities for a number of local cement players to increase their capacity and geographic reach, a number of new players are prospecting the market to plug the deficit whilst imported cement is still being considered as viable by the industry. (At present, the region imports about 50% of its cement). A myriad of opportunities and challenges awaits the region ranging from quality control issues, cost effective supply chain management and production to new technologies and techniques in the use of cement and concrete. Against this background, The Concrete Trends and www.Concrete.TV will be hosting the inaugural Totally Concrete East Africa conference in Dar es Salaam from 28 -- 30 October 2014.

Opportunities abound in East Africa's cement, concrete and construction industries! East Africa has in recent years seen exceptional growth in the construction sector, particularly around the development of new houses, multistory buildings, roads and bridges. This trend has contributed to a surging demand for building materials in particular cement and concrete. In parts of the region cement capacity, cannot keep up with the demand whilst in other parts there is an over-supply. Whilst the under-supply may provide opportunities for a number of local cement players to increase their capacity and geographic reach, a number of new players are prospecting the market to plug the deficit whilst imported cement is still being considered as viable by the industry. (At present, the region imports about 50% of its cement). A myriad of opportunities and challenges awaits the region ranging from quality control issues, cost effective supply chain management and production to new technologies and techniques in the use of cement and concrete. Against this background, The Concrete Trends and www.Concrete.TV will be hosting the inaugural Totally Concrete East Africa conference in Dar es Salaam from 28 -- 30 October 2014.

Kenya @50: Asian African Heritage - The Railway Builders

As Kenya marks 50 years since unshackling itself from colonialism, it is perhaps time to look back at the history of some of Kenya's landmarks to better understand the contribution made by Kenyans of different races in shaping the country's future. For just two sterling pounds a month, an equivalent of 24,000 Kenya shillings at current exchange rates, and using nothing other than their bare hands and feet, indian labourers dared the man-eating lions of Tsavo to build the rail track from Mombasa to Kampala. Their sacrifices in the construction of the line nicknamed the "lunatic express" helped lay the foundation to a modern Kenya and book a special place for the Indian community in Kenya.
Our reporter brings you the story of the Indian connection to Kenya's infrastructural development.

Overview of East Africa's only cement & concrete event [construction]

The TotallyConcreteEast Africa event was held in Tanzania from 28-30 October 2014. The event offered over 300 participants the methods to increase sustainability in East African construction projects with techniques for service life extension, quality control enforcement in both domestic and imported cement, and reducing maintenance and repair costs over time. The all-star line-up of more than 40 renowned industry experts delivered critical insight into doing business in the region’s construction market and proven techniques for navigating the local tender and building process.
“Thank you so much for a well organised and managed conference which really was fantastic. It was great times to meet with a great people with great minds and the lesson learnt specifically on infrastructure development will improve the living standards of our people. As Technocrats we have to be results oriented and thus putting imagination into workable physical structures using locally available potential raw materials," says Eng. StephenS.A, Plant Manager from Manda, Tancesco Ltd.
The Totally Concrete East2015 event will be held from 26-28 October 2015 and aims to help you capitalise on the demand for increased cement production in East Africa and prepare for upcoming tenders in housing, transport and public works with guaranteed extended access to the entire African concrete ecosystem from concrete technologist to consulting engineer.

Three Generations of Chinese Take Root in Africa for Railway Construction

The China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative is a massive infrastructure investment program that aims to link countries across Asia, Europe and Africa; since its launch in 2013, many hardworking Chinese have devoted themselves to infrastructure construction in foreign countries, evoking a great many touching stories.
The Djibouti Railway was put into commercial operation in January of this year. The 752.7-km railway, which carries commercial freight and passenger services, is the first electrified railway in east Africa and it is the first time that a Chinese company has built a railway overseas using the "all Chinese standard" and Chinese equipment.
Zhou Ping, a project manager of the China RailwayNo.2 Group Co.,LTD, came to Ethiopia in the early 1990s to build Africa's first, "all Chinese standard" transnational electrified railway. http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20180604/8082312.shtml#!language=1

The strategy of the German colonial forces, led by Lieutenant Colonel (later Generalmajor) Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, was to divert forces from the Western Front to Africa. His strategy achieved only mixed results after 1916, when he was driven out of German East Africa and Allied forces became composed almost entirely of South African, Indian, and other colonial troops. Black South African troops were not considered for European service as a matter of policy while all Indian units had been withdrawn from the Western Front by the end of 1915; the campaign in Africa consumed considerable amounts of money and war material that could have gone to other fronts. The Germans fought for the whole of World War I, receiving word of the armistice on 14 November 1918 at 7:30a.m. Both sides waited for confirmation and the Germans formally surrendered on 25 November. German East Africa became two League of Nations Class B Mandates, Tanganyika Territory of the United Kingdom and Ruanda-Urundi of Belgium, while the Kionga Triangle became a mandate of Portugal.
